NB200 - from Windows 7 to XP - help

I recently bought this laptop with Windows 7 and have found that this does not work for me if you want to install Windows XP. I downloaded the drivers and put them on a disc. What I have to do a clean install or can I install XP on Windows 7? When and how to install the drivers? Also got a 350 satellite with Vista and I'm thinking put XP on that as if were the same questions for this process. Any help would be appreciated... Thank you

You're going to need to boot from the CD and wipe/format of the drive, do not forget that XP does not natively support SATA hard drive controller, so you'll need either to create a customized image of XP with the drivers incorperated or you need go into BIOS and change the AHCI to IDE drive in order to load the operating system.

After you install the AHCI with XP drivers, you can go back into the BIOS and re - activate the AHCI and now must find "New hardware" restart once more...

HTH,
